Amit Shah taunts SP over 'Mahabharat'
Hitting out at successive BSP and Samajwadi Party governments in Uttar Pradesh over corruption, BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday alleged that people of the state were left empty handed while the leaders of the two parties flourished under their rule.
He also alleged that while SP was committing atrocities on Dalits, BSP supremo Mayawati was exploiting them and claimed that only BJP can ensure uplift of the community. "In the last 15 years, the people of Uttar Pradesh have been entangled between SP and BSP and remained where they were, while the leaders of these parties accumulated wealth," he alleged.
Addressing a 'Parivartan Maha rally' organised by former BSP leader Swami Prasad Maurya, Shah raised questions on graft cases, from Taj corridor to alleged mining scam linked to Gayatri Prasad Prajapati.
"Modiji is sending money to the state but it is being divided between chacha and bhatija...," the BJP national president alleged targeting Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and state minister Shivpal. Taking a jibe at the Samajwadi Party over the infighting, Shah said it was "bigger than Mahabharat".
"Uncle and nephew are throwing each other's supporters out and Amar Singh is playing the role of Narad," he alleged. Shah also tried to corner Mayawati, saying she should have used the money spent for buying her bunglows for the poor Dalits in the state.-PTI
